Ezekiel 32:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 32:7

5 I will lay your flesh ^aon the mountains,
And fill the valleys with your carcass.

6 “I will also water the land with the flow of your blood,
Even to the mountains;
And the riverbeds will be full of you.

7 When I put out your light,
^aI will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
And the moon shall not give her light.

8 All the¹ bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you,
And bring darkness upon your land,”
Says the Lord God.

9 ‘I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

10 Yes, I will make many peoples astonished at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and ^athey shall tremble every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

11 ^a‘For thus says the Lord God: “The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.

12 By the swords of the mighty warriors, all of them ^athe most terrible of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall.
^b“They shall plunder the pomp of Egypt,
And all its multitude shall be destroyed.
